at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - A surging, seething, murmuring crowd
of beings that are human only in name, for to the eye and ear they
seem naught but savage creatures, animated by vile passions and by
the lust of vengeance and of hate. The hour, some little time
before sunset, and the place, the West Barricade, at the very spot
where, a decade later, a proud tyrant raised an undying monument to
the nation's glory and his own vanity. During the greater part of
the day the guillotine had been kept busy at its ghastly work: all
that France had boasted of in the past centuries, of ancient names,
and blue blood, had paid toll to her desire for liberty and for
fraternity. The carnage had only ceased at this late hour of the
day because there were other more interesting sights for the people
to witness, a little while before the final closing of the
barricades for the night.
